We are evaluating an ecommerce site as part of our academic project/casestudy. We are from India. We don't have access to any Endeca Systems or any enterprise systems. we use only internet for the details. We have few basic questions as part of our study. Is Endeca the best or the Solr? Do the people who have implemented Endeca satisfi...
Hi Guys, Is there a built-in functionalities in solr/lucene to filter the results if they fall below a certain score threshold? Let's say if I provide a score threshold of .2, then all documents with score less than .2 will be removed from my results. My intuition is that this is possible by updating/customizing solr or lucene. Could y...
I am building out a solr instance for django, but the example provided from solr is super verbose, with many things that are not relevant to haystack. A sample with spelling suggestions, morelikethis, and faceting, without the extra stuff that haystack doesn't use would go a long way to helping me understand what is needed and what isn't...
Hi Guys, Is possible in Solr 1.4 to specify which similarity class to use for every search within a single index? Let's say, I got 2 type of search (keyword and brand). For keyword search, I want to use the DefaultSimilarity class. But, for brand search, I want to use my CustomSimilarity class. I've been modifying the schema.xml to sp...
I have created a request handler in Solr that uses dismax and limits my query to certain fields and adds boosts for relevancy on the "title" field. This all works fine when I go directly to Solr using an http request in a browser. However my question is whether I can use the request handler if I am accessing Solr using SolrJ? It would ...
I'm implementing full text search functionality on my rap website, and I'm running into some issues with rapper and song names. For example, someone might want to search for the rapper "Cam'ron" using the query "camron" (leaving out the mid-word apostrophe). Likewise, someone might search for the song "3 Peat" using the query "3peat". ...
Hi All, I am working on Solr in my application. I am using apache-solr-solrj-1.4.0.jar When I try to call add(SolrInputDocument doc) of CommonsHttpSolrServer I am getting following exception: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Internal Server Error Internal Server Error at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.CommonsHttpSolrServer.requ...
I'm using Solr and I want to facet over a field "group". Since "group" is created by users, potentially there can be a huge number of values for "group". Would Solr be able to handle a use case like this? Or is Solr not really appropriate for facet fields with a large number of values? I understand that I can set facet.limit to rest...
Is there any way to return in the fields list whether a value exists as one of the values of a multivalued field? E.g., if your schema is <schema> ... <field name="user_name" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" /> <field name="follower" type="integer" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" /> ... </schema...
I'd like to use the Drupal solr search module with the Apache Solr Search hosted on an external machine. I know that Acquia offer this as a service. But it's not an affordable option for me. I'd like to install Solr on an inexpensive VPS and have all my various Drupal sites which are on different hosts accessing the search functions. Am ...
Can I integrate Solr with Sharepoint with out using Lucene Connector Framework. if so should I make Solr Index the Sharepoint's underlying database ? Will this produce successful search results ? ...
ColdFusion 9's full text search is now based on Apache Lucene Solr (or Verity, but it has too much limitations). We also use SQL Server. Which one's better? Which one's easier? UPDATE: going to use for... searching against the name & description fields of the Products table. Thanks! ...
Afternoon guys, I'm using a SOLR index for searching through items on my site. The search results contain an average rating of the item and an amount of comments the item has. The results can be sorted by both rating and num of comments. But obviously with the solr index, these numbers aren't updated until the db (2million~ rows) is r...
Hi, I'm setting up an environment using Nutch 1.0 + solR 1.4. In Nutch I configured the subcollection plugin which seems to work nicely. If I search as normal adding fl=* I can see the subcollection field is filled as intented. (something like <str name="subcollection">mysite.com</str>). My problem is, I would like to be able to sear...
Hi, I need to sort query results by the output of some function which takes "score" and couple other fields as an input (50% of the total score comes from similarity score and 50% comes from document's popularity). Is there a way to do this without having to install "Sort by Function" patch? Thanks! ...
Hi, Is it possible to configure Solr so that the document similarity score would be in the range for example from 0 (no match) to 1 (complete document and query match). Thanks! ...
I have a SolrPhpClient on my classifieds website, and whenever users wants to add/remove classified the index in Solr gets updated via Php code. So I wonder, does this mean that my Solr index is open for anybody to alter with? Same Q applies to the Solr Admin page. If I set a password for the admin page, does this mean that my classifi...
How can I load data from an xml file into solr using the solrj API? ...
Hello everyone, I've been asked to do an evaluation of Solr as an alternative for a commercial search engine. The application now has a very particular way of sorting results using something called "buckets". I'll try to explain with a bit of details: In the interface they have 2 fields: "what" and "where". Both fields are actually ...

I tried something like: ...
